Cape Town is a city rich in cultural and historical gems and its origins are hidden in historical streets, monuments, museums, landmarks, architecture, and its spirited Cape Town people. Head to the inner-city on a half-day guided walk and visit Greenmarket Square, the Company Gardens and Castle of Good Hope. Situated in the Gardens, the Iziko South African Museum is the country’s oldest museum showcasing more than a million specimens of historical and natural importance. The Bo-Kaap is a multi-cultural area of Cape Town, tucked away near Signal Hill. Explore Muslim cultural history and heritage, via the cobbled streets and colourful 18th century homes. Visit South Africa’s first Muslim mosque and sample traditional Cape Malay cuisine. Also take a ferry to Robben Island, a World Heritage site, which served as a place of banishment, isolation and imprisonment to key political figures like Nelson Mandela.
